Özet

Purpose: For student nurses, it’s important to prioritize specific stress management interventions and to increase awareness of well-being and cognitive assessments. Our goal was to investigate the stress index of nursing students, andto evaluate parameters that affect the general well-being.Methods and Materials: Our study was conducted in 3 stages between December 2018- August 2019 with 695 students from the nursing undergraduate program of Trakya University. In the first phase, the students were evaluated using theStudent Nurse Stress Index (SNSI) and the second phase, General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12).Results: The students’ mean SNSI and GHQ-12 scores were 110 and 3.61, respectively. The female students’ mean SNSI and GHQ-12 scores were 108.24; 3.60, respectively. The males’ mean SNSI and GHQ-12 scores were 114.0; 3.62, respectively.Although there was a difference between males and females in terms of mean SNSI values, there was no differencebetween GHQ-12 scores. Among 516 students who chose nursing of their own will, both SNSI and GHQ-12 scores werebetter than those who chose nursing according to their families’ wishes.Conclusions: Our stress evaluation study in nursing students in Turkey is one of the most participatory works performed for general health assessment. It showed that being an undergraduate student is a stressful process. It’s necessary toincrease awareness about the interaction of young people who enter nursing, which is a cornerstone of health service.
